Farmers’ congress here today. Prof.
Christie’s address included a survey
of agricultural extension work from
the time when President George Wash-
ington, who was also a farmer, tried
in vain to induce congress to establish
a department of agriculture for the
betterment of farm conditions, down to
1914 when the Smith-Lever agricul-
tural appropriation act was passed by
congress.
“The Smith-Lever act has focused
the attention of the educational in-
terests on the great agricultural prob-
lems and has provided for a large and
active organization in every state for
agricultural extension work,” said Prof.
Christie. It may be of interest to con-
sider a few of the mediums and meth-

• Elephant Butte, N. M., Oct. 20.—The
Elephant Butte dam, completed recent-
ly at a cost of $15 000,000 and intended
to impound the largest artificially re-
tained body of water in the world,
was dedicated here yesterday by A. A.
Jones of New Mexico, personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson. Three
hundred and fifty delegates to the
international irrigation congress and
international farm congress were the
dedication committee.
The Elephant Butte dam and irriga-
tion reservoir is the largest storage
irrigation enterprise in the world. It
was constructed by the United States
reclamation service. Is located in Sier-
ra county, New Mexico, fourteen miles
from Engle, across the Rio Grande.
The dam contains 800,000 cubic yards
of concrete. Its length at top is 1,318.7
feet, is of gravity type,, straight in
Germans Must Learn to Do Without

Beilin, Oct. 18.—A scarcity of mus-

the bulk of its mustard from Russia,
Holland, Italy and lately from Ruma-
nia. All supplies on hand have been
expropriated and restaurant keepers
have now begun to serve the condi-
ment to guests only when requested

of leaving the mustard pot on the table
as in former times.

Argentina Rural Society Celebrated Its
Semicentennial with Cattle Show.
By Associated Press.
Buenos Aires, Oct. 20.—The Argen-
tina Rural society celebrated its fif-
tieth anniversary with the recent an-
nual cattle show at Palermo, which
was favored by fine weather and good
prices. For the first time American
citizens acted as judges of the blood
stock shown. The shorthorn bull,
Camp Hero, bred in this country by
Senor Pedro T. Pages, was given the
championship, but the animal was not
placed on sale, the owner choosing to
retain it for stud purposes.
The reserve champion, Durham, was
disposed of for $50,000 paper, and an-
other animal of the same category
brought $55,000. More sensational
sales have been witnessed, but con-
sidering present conditions the recent
show gave decisive proof of the repub-
lic’s financial stability and confidence
in the future of the grazing industry.
By Associated Press.
Buenos Aires, Oct. 20.—A decree pro-
mulgated last spring further restrict-
ing immigration to the Argentine Re-
public will take effect Oct. 26.
During the past two years the de-
parture of settlers and others for Eu-
rope has been so marked that some
statesmen have been alarmed over the
fact that a country with such, a large
area and a relatively sparse popula-
tion could not hold its inhabitants. The
government, however, has not been im-
pressed, and by decree, which becomes
effective Oct. 26, many stringent con-
ditions will hereafter surround permis-
sion of immigrants to land in the Ar-
gentine.
Any persons found suffering from
organic disease, making the subject
unfit for work, will be barred, as will
cripples, the latter provision suppos-
edly being aimed at a possible inva-
sion by wounded soldiers after the
European, war. Another clause of the
new restriction bars all those who
have been beggars in the country of

For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is Galveston evidence to prove
their worth.
Miss Clara Mandel, 1813 Avenue N.
Galveston, says: “I have used WDoan's
Kidney Pills on several occasions and,
judging from the results they gave, I
can always say a good word for them.
My head ached fearfully and my back,
across my hips, also pained me. Doan’s
Kidney Pills gave me relief and I shall
always be a booster for them.”

county agent sought a commission firm,
enlisted their co-operation and finally
had them locate a branch office in
the county with a crop of pickers and
a packing outfit. This firm took from
the county more than 35,000 bushels
ofapples for which was paid approxi-
mately $25,000. In no previous year
was there ever sold more than 6000
bushels of apples from this county, and
it is conservatively estimated that
40,000 bushels of apples were fed to
hogs or allowed to rot on the ground
because they were unfit for market.”

his friends. If so, it will be his third
campaign for a seat among the “im-

to persuade him to declare his candi-

ods employed in extension work.”
Prof. Christie then detailed work be-
ing done, as follows:
“The farmers’ institute is one of the
oldest extension agencies. For years
the meetings have been held in the
various states. The institute offers
not only an opportunity to impart Tech-
nical information on farming, home
making, road building, etc., but it
serves as a medium for the strength-
ening of social relationships.
“By means of education trains which
have been operated over almost every
railroad in the United States, it has
been possible to reach in an effective
way large numbers of people in a short
space of time. This medium has been
most valuable in arousing communi-
ties and focusing attention upon defi-
nite important matters.
“Short courses in agricultural in-
struction, lasting one, two or more
weeks and located at various points
in the state have served as a most val-
uable medium through which to assist
farmers and their families. The stu-
dents were given opportunity to do
laboratory work in judging corn, live-
stock, fruit or potatoes, pruning trees,
making spray mixtures, etc, etc. ■ The
women had practical demonstrations
on the phases of homt economic had
allied subjects.
“One of the most far-reaching steps
taken throughout the entire country is
that providing for the appointment of
county agricultural agents or farm ad-
visers. Practically every state has
made provision for appointment of
these workers. At present more than
1100 agents are t work.
“In one county in Indiana the last
year the county’s agent noted that the
apple crop was unusually large. The
local demand was very small. The
barkation. In shipping circles it is
said that this risk of bringing possi-
bly undesirable immigrants from Eu-
ropean countries, where registration is
either defective or not practiced at
all, makes the entire business of immi-
gration undesirable in the viewpoint of
the steamship companies. It is pro-
vided in the regulations, however, that
first-class passengers are exempt from
all the penalties prescribed in the de-
cree, a fact which suggests that in fu-
ture immigrants may travel safely as
salon passengers.
